An Indian English term for the act or process of weighing goods — standard in logistics, trade, and railway freight contexts across South Asia. Where British English would say 'weighing' or 'the weigh-in', Indian English formalised it into a noun with its own procedural weight (no pun intended). You'll find it on freight receipts, port documents, and commodity contracts throughout India.
The dispute arose because the weighment at the origin depot didn't match what was recorded on arrival.
